People are generally missing service in their lives. Thanks for the comment, from another old guy.

Honestly the loudest people on the left are a big reason the country went so hard right.

You can get a small window AC unit for like $200. I moved to a super hot humid area at 21, first thing I did despite working minimum wage was I bought a cheap window AC. Because I wanted to live. It only cooled my bedroom but I basically lived in that room for the next couple of months.

How the hell can that many people in Europe die when life saving cooling is so easily accessible? I know I hear Europeans say, “Not many houses have AC.” Okay. But maybe consider it if you’re dying? Seriously wtf.

No one will complain when he is killed in prison. My only hope is that he gets tortured sufficiently before he dies.

I am not a murderer, but I also don’t believe that killing to protect innocents is murder.

I’d like to be paid to hike trails please. Preferably in the western US. What should I study?

We already don’t care for our aging population well at all. Reducing population requires way more planning and resources than you think. Nations that are actually losing population are really struggling with this reality.

Out of that the US lacks health care for all, and it lacks transit pretty much everywhere outside of the large cities. Even the cities pretty much have nothing that reaches all the way out to the suburbs.

Where I live, you have to have a car to have a decent quality of life. People give up their homes before they give up their cars. So transportation needs to be addressed in order to have the quality of life promised. Most of the places that are food insecure are all about politics and bad people blocking food resources rather than the food not being available.

Eh, we don’t have buses or trains at all.

But fighting traffic pumps up your adrenaline and you’re ready to crush it when you walk in the office door! /s

Nice strawman. The strategy of the incompetent.

I was born. It wasn’t my choice.

Idk, my kids love dark chocolate but also I hate milk chocolate so they haven’t had much of it.

If the labor practices are better than the US they should be able to buy houses in the US. I’m not the one who claimed it was better than the US.

In some places. If they’re better than the US the answer should be mostly yes.

I realize it’s a disingenuous argument but the problem with the US isn’t as much about wages. It’s about cost of living and cost of everything, and our government is to blame.

I’m not in this picture.

I only eat US made chocolate. Good stuff. Sometimes I’m tempted to buy some German garbage like Ritter Sport out of nostalgia from living there but then I slap myself and remember I don’t have to eat out of a trash can.

Oh they pay wages that accommodate people buying homes in US cities?

50% is a little low for my taste. I wish it was more like 40 60 80. I’d be going for the 80. Or maybe just 50 & 70. I can live with 70.

But it needs some horseshit and b.o. mixed in as well.

I’d guess most of history in most of the world was little different though. If you break relationship with the group of people providing food and shelter, you might have to figure out food and shelter on your own. As shitty as it is, smart people line up the next relationship before breaking off the old if they can’t do it on their own.
